Sorry guys, this was supposed to go out at the beginning of the week but
I was disconnected and it never got out of my outbox:
The September 2007 meeting of the Triangle Linux Users Group (Sponsored
by <a href="http://featuretel.com/">Featuretel</a>) will be held at 7pm,
September 13, at Red Hat on the Centennial Campus of North Carolina
State University (<a
href="http://www.redhat.com/about/contact/ww/americas/raleigh.html">directions</a>) . The talk is on Linux video editing, given by Joey Carr.
The talk will introduce the capabilities of several of the most basic
tools in linux video production (kino/dvgrab, cinelerra, ffmpeg, and
mencoder). Other tools and multimedia-focused linux distributions will
be discussed. A basic production workflow will be demonstrated for
video capture via IEEE 1394 (i.e. Firewire), and editing in Kino.
Finally, options for DVD authoring will be covered in brief.
<p>Joey previously worked as a Java developer and later as a business
analyst for a medical informatics application service provider. He
recently returned to UNC to study film and video production in the
department of Communication Studies. He is currently working for <a
href="http://ibiblio.org">iBiblio</a> on their video speaker and other
projects.
